August 3, 200916 yr I dont know how many of you enjoy this, but I have been watching Shark week since I was a kid, and it has never ceased to impress me. I was watching Air Jaws 2 last night, and watching 1+ ton sharks come flying out of the water chasing seals and fake seals was just incredible, especially the underwater cameras showing the actual thought process that some of the sharks take when considering prey. Anyone that thinks that a shark is a big dumb killing machine should sit down and watch some of these shows.
August 3, 200916 yr I f***ing love Shark Week. I really don't know anyone that doesn't. Just yesterday, we had it on in the bar. Robert: (turns off TV) Brennan: What the f***?! Dale: Dad! It's Shark Week!
August 3, 200916 yr Love the commercials. Start out out those Canada commercials, like the guy sitting on his surf board-watching the sunset, Then pulled under water.

August 4, 200916 yr Author Great Whites Uncaged was freaking awesome. And the woman on the boat was hot
August 4, 200916 yr We should all play a drinking game. 1 drink every time the word "shark" is said and 3 drinks ever time a shark is on TV.
August 4, 200916 yr I was watching the show with the shark that jumps out of the water down by Africa. If I'm ever in that area fishing and I see that, I might just s*** myself and start crying because I would be scared out of my mind.

I really love the trailer camera showing the attack from underneath
August 4, 200916 yr Watched Jaws when I was five and have been freaked out at sharks since then. Hate watching them. I was scared of going in the water at the beach until like 10 because I thought sharks were there despite my mom telling me otherwise.
August 5, 200916 yr When that scientist sat on the floating whale carcass and watched the sharks go at it, I thought that was the coolest thing. I'd totally do that.
August 5, 200916 yr My 7 year old loves Shark Week already. Tuesday morning she woke me up asking, "What channel is the shark channel?" And then last night she was pissed, saying, "I want to see the ones where they bite people." She saw Jaws when she was about 4 (Only the end part, after the normal people get attacked) and now every time a movie with ocean scenes come on she says, "Ooo, is this Jaws?"

Tell her to watch tonight... Great White Appetite is on... that will be Jaws.
August 6, 200916 yr I freak myself out when paddling out all time, Jaws has permanently petrified me of sharks. However, I was able to swim with a white tip reef shark last winter while spearfishing, was one of the biggest thrills. Kind of a get me over the fear swim, didnt work. Still I would love to get in a cage in S. Africa with some great whites. I hear there is one here, great whites are just fairly rare here with the warm waters. Tigers are in abundance, my personal most feared shark.

August 6, 200916 yr QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Aug 6, 2009 -> 05:34 AM) Shark Week has taught me that spear fishermen are more vulnerable to shark attacks than any other. That is not true if you are considering all bites worldwide and not just major attack encounters. There were just under 200 total confirmed unprovoked attacks on divers (whether spearfishing or not) during the last century. In contrast, there were nearly 450 attacks on surfers and over 700 on shallow shoreline bathers. Shark Attack's Versus Victim's Activity (1900-1999)
August 6, 200916 yr Author I was really disappointed with the mythbusters treatment of jaws. Very Very much so
